Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

All-Purpose Flour: The foundation of any great cookie; use sifted flour for a lighter texture.
Sugar: A mix of granulated and brown sugar adds sweetness and moisture to these cookies.
Cinnamon: Use ground cinnamon for that warm spice flavor that ties everything together perfectly.
Baking Powder: Essential for that delightful rise; it gives these cookies a light and fluffy texture.
Unsalted Butter: Softened butter helps create a tender cookie; be sure it’s at room temperature before mixing.
Eggs: One large egg binds everything together while adding richness to the dough.
Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla enhances all the flavors; don’t skip this vital ingredient!
Powdered Sugar: For dusting on top, giving your cookies an elegant finish.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

Create the Dough Base: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.

Add in Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in one egg and add vanilla extract into the mixture until well combined. You’ll want it to look smooth and creamy without lumps.

Mix Dry Ingredients Separately: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into your wet ingredients until just combined—don’t overmix!

Scoop and Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. This allows them room to spread out as they bake. For more inspiration, check out this Easy Sno Ball Brownies recipe.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.

Now you have a batch of Cinnamon Coffee Cake Cookies that will surely delight everyone around! Enjoy those moments as you share them with friends or keep them all for yourself—no judgment here! Creamy Tres Leches Cake.
